  King in the mountain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A king in the mountain, king under the mountain or sleeping hero is a prominent motif that appears in many folktales and legends.
King in the mountain stories involve legendary heroes, often accompanied by armed retainers, sleeping in remote dwellings, including caves on high mountaintops, remote islands, or supernatural worlds.
The story goes on to say that the king in the mountain sleeps in the mountain, awaiting a summons to arise with his knights and defend the nation in a time of deadly peril; and the omen that presages his rising will be the extinction of the birds that trigger his awakening.
